Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed Agincourt, my main interest has been the saxon stories as I live in Newcastle and have spent a great deal of my life in the area around Bamburgh. I am really looking forward to Uhtred returning to beautiful Northumberland. I know you have traced your own roots to Bamburgh, but have you spent much time in Northumberland and if so I’m very interested in your impression of the area, now being referred to by tourist agencies as the Secret Kingdom.
